Sucker Shoot – Wed, 9/2

The September sucker shoot will be on Wednesday, September 2nd at 6:00 pm.

We have our own factory/sporter rifle class. Shooters do not have to shoot a custom rifle. The target is a lot of fun and the x count is not hard to add to.

The fee is $10 per rifle. Youth is $10 as well. Youth must be accompanied by an adult.

FACTORY rifles. Any 22 rifle which is basically unmodified and with a MSRP of under $1000.00. Excluded will be custom barrels and stocks, but any trigger or replacement and any optic allowed. Also excluded from factory class are the 40-x, Vudoo, Kimber, Cooper or semi custom rifles. Use any ammunition that your rifle likes. Shooters can look to the American Rimfire Association rulebook on-line for the Factory definition.

Factory will be shot at 50 yards and sandbags or bipod should be used. No one piece rests.

Custom rifles. Any custom built 22lr rifle or any rifle excluded from factory rifle.

Reminder of Range Rules

To all members:

SHOOTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE ANY TARGETS ON THE SUPPORT FRAMES OR POSTS ON THE TARGET STANDS.

NO SHOOTING OF GLASS OR FRUIT ON ANY RANGE.

DO NOT PLACE PAPER TARGETS IN FRONT OF THE STEEL TARGETS. WHEN YOU SHOOT THROUGH PAPER IT GOES THROUGH AND HITS THE WOODEN STANDS BEHIND AND CAUSES DAMAGE.

These rules are in place to ensure the safety of our members and guests while also protecting the facilities and equipment that make our range such a valuable resource.

Your membership dues help fund the continued improvement and maintenance of the range, but much of the work required to keep it in excellent condition is generously performed by fellow members who volunteer their time and effort.

We ask that you respect both the range and the people who help care for it by following the established rules. Working together, we can ensure that our range remains a safe, enjoyable, and well-maintained place for everyone to use.

Thank you,

Luke Pierce Memorial Trap Shoot – Sun, 9/6

The club is honored to host a memorial shoot celebrating the life of an incredible young man who made a lasting impact on both the Montgomery County 4-H Shooting Team and MCFGC. His enthusiasm, dedication, and friendship touched so many, and this event is an opportunity for our community to come together in his memory.

We encourage all club members to attend. Whether you’re an experienced trapshooter or have never shot a round of trap, your presence would mean a great deal. Come help us honor and celebrate a life that was deeply cherished by our club and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

We hope to see you there as we remember him together.
